Pie Crust Cookies or How to Use Up Extra Pie Dough

The one problem I have with making pie is that I always end up with extra pie dough. I hate throwing food away so I came up with a way to use it up.

Roll the extra dough out just like you would for a pie crust. Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes out of the dough. Re-roll as necessary until you've used it up.

Lay the cutout shapes on a cookie sheet (I line mine with parchment paper) and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle the cookies liberally with cinnamon sugar. Sometimes, I skip the melted butter because I'm lazy and they still turn out delicious!

Pop the cookies in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until golden. Watch them closely because they'll burn fast!

Star's baby doll helped me watch the cookies while they baked

Enjoy!
